Shi sat on top of War as they made their way to the island, Shi hadn't been able to explore for long before since he needed to have a way back and took the first one he saw, now he could maintain Mega so he could deal with these things a lot easier. The light that surrounded the area felt like nothing to him nor War, they had no evil within nor any bad intentions for others. Shi and War landed standing next to one another. Shi looked around seeing the place was exactly as it was before, a different area but still the same in detail. "Alright, come on lets get moving." Shi said giving a signal to start walking, he wasn't waiting for anyone so he started moving but he suddenly got a chill up his spine, like he wasn't supposed to be here now. "What was?" Shi asked looking around the area.
"Something the matter Shi?" War asked looking at the tamer, Shi waved his hand a bit before putting his hands in his pockets. It wasn't anything just a feeling but Shi couldn't ignore it right now, for some reason it felt like something was going to happen but that was absurd, this place was safe from people with evil ideals right?

"WOOO HOOOO!!!" Gallatin yelled into the night as he was soaring through the air. So what If he had just gotten his but handed to him by a giant knight digimon. It was always things that distracted him from what was truly important in life...
"THE FACT THAT I CAN FRIGGIN FLY!!!" He yelled as his eyes were filled with glee. The wind whistling through the windows of his golden armor. Chronamon - Excalibur Mode was such an upgrade above the original. He had armor, he was stronger, faster, had a cool sword, and could FLY!!! He did a few more flips in the air before leveling out to lay on his back above the clouds, A Golden-Orange DigiPentagram enlarging and appearing under his back. He took a moment to just breathe in the air. It really was a miraculous thing that he could do stuff like this.
He was about to go back down to the ground and land before he noticed something in the distance... It looked like some sort of floating land mass?! He willed himself forward a few miles, and as he approached it, it grew larger and larger! It was as if the entire sky was bathed in an unearthly light that shined off of his golden armor, warming him to the bone. After he flew above it, he circled around trying to find the best place to land. It was especially surprising when he saw someone walking around on it... It was Shi!
Gallatin flew down to the "ground' to land next to shi... but was stopped for a moment by some sort of force. He felt his head begin to split open as everything was suddenly painful to look at. Unknown to him, Gallatin's eyes repeatedly flashed between regular and completely black and pupil-less underneath his helmet visor. Finally, the pain subsided and he clutched his head. Maybe it was his eyes playing tricks on him, but it looked like for a second some black figure flashed in front of him before disappearing... Meh, it was probably his headache.
Anyway, he slowly descended, his head not hurting any more. He landed a few feet behind shi and ran up to him, his Golden armor shining in the light, a fierce glare emanating from it. "Hey Shi! Is that you!?" He waved as he quickly approached Shi and his WarGreymon that was also there too!

Shi was about to keep walking away when War thought he heard something in the distance, Shi spent a moment looking around alongside the Mega but didn't see anything, it was farther away then they chose to care about. However it came closer and landed on the ground shouting out Shi's name Shi turned around his hat luckily blocking the beams reflected of this persons armor. Shi took a moment and recalled everyone who he had met and decided on the one person would would never fit this description yet would also know his name. "You're, that one I met in the village, Gallatin right?" Shi asked figuring it'd be alright if he got the name wrong, it had been a while and Shi was bad at remembering names. War stood next to Shi a bit in front of him. War was always protective but it didn't seem aimed at Gallatin.
"It's been quite a while, how have you been? Did your friend solve that head talking problem?" Shi asked recalling he had covered that up before, best question it now. Shi did still go for the lie despite knowing it was most likely not true.

Gallatin scratched the back of his armored head, a goofy grin playing across his obscured mouth. "Wow, Is it that obvious that it's me?" His body was obscured by a flash of light and binary, leaving him looking like his regular, human self again after it had all faded. "Friend?" He briefly pondered Shi's question before Gallatin remembered his excuse for leaving him last time.
"Oh yeah! No, that was me. Apparently it was this spirit digimon who gave me his powers, and also led me to this weird lab under this mansion in the forest that had a totem that gave me this sick transformation. But yeah... he's not around any more because he sacrificed his life force as a catalyst for my transformation when I was nearly killed and had my body taken over by a black version of me..." He ended off the mouthful of the explanation, taking a breather from the exposition explosion he had just given to Shi.
"But anyway, how have you been? Anyway, this place is weird right?" Gallatin asked, briefly marveling the scenery. He also was wondering if this place gave Shi a headache too. "Those headaches are really bad when you land on this place; but with how breathtaking all of this looks, it's kinda worth it." He took another moment to look around the floating island's scenery, unaware what he had just mentioned was quite strange. "So... how's Maia been?" Gallatin slipped in the question, trying to sound as casual as possible despite looking extremely awkward even talking about her.

Shi gave a shrug. "I don't know many people, but out of the ones I do know only one has a evolution route I don't know about, kinda just assumed." Shi admitted as Gallatin reverted back to his original form, the explanation was something else however, being attacked by a Black version of yourself, well blacker, was something Shi and War were used to, it did happen to them two times but something told Shi it wasn't exactly like his encounter. "Figured, though that story is something else, I'm sorry to hear about your spirit." Shi said and despite his words being void of emotion as always they still sounded sincere.
"Aside from getting lost in the woods for a bit I'm alright." Shi admitted, but the second thing Gallatin said caught him off guard. "Headaches?" Shi repeated trying to recall something, it felt a bit important but War talked and broke his trail of thought. "We didn't get a headache coming up here." The Mega said and Shi shrugged at this. "Maybe you're just getting used to the Altitude." Shi said, though he didn't get a headache maybe Shi's special ability to not care kicked in, maybe he was having one now who knows?
"Last I saw she was alright, we met in a forest and we worked together to get out, My Digivice wasn't working at the time so I had to go the long way. She seemed fine." Shi said being casual about telling him what happened, he didn't know their relationship but he found them together so they should of been on a first name basis right?

"Huh... I guess that was just me..." Gallatin said, scratching the back of his hair. That did seem like a logical explanation, them being up so high in the sky that he'd probably just gotten altitude sickness. "Anyway, it's cool seeing ya here. By the way, what are you guys doing here?" Gallatin inquired. Even though this flying place was big, he didn't really imagine that Shi lived here or anything... Or maybe he did live here? Could a human even live in the Digital World?
While they continued to converse, nobody seemingly noticed as Gallatin's shadow moved ever so slightly slower than its owner. While it did move exactly the way Gallatin was, it was almost like a person would be when copying someone's actions. When he looked down briefly, Gallatin did notice this, but just attributed it to his 'altitude sickness' from before. He had always gotten a bit paranoid around shadows ever since his incident with his black self, but there was no point in worrying about it. He was sure he had killed the thing anyway. Or at least he thought he did...?

"We're just looking around, maybe jumping into more situations we can help with." War answered, Shi had to admit they were the best as showing up at just the right time to stop a fight, maybe Shi did have a super power, stupidly good timing. "We also met a Lucemon here once, Despite meeting briefly I thought maybe I could encounter him again." Shi added, he hadn't seen anyone old since he got back from vacation aside from Dante, that didn't worry him but he was still a bit on guard about that fact.
Shi noticed Gallatin look down at his shadow, Shi didn't do the same but that feeling came back, Shi shook his head lightly wondering why he felt on edge right now. War kept a eye out like normal and both waited for Gallatin to say something themselves not having anything new to say.

Gallatin half registered Shi's words as he was half concentrating on his shadow, waiting for his head to clear up and it to sync with him... but it didn't!? "Hmm? Um, yeah. That's cool." Gallatin said, only catching the last part Shi had said. This shadow thing was really making him paranoid... But if it was something bad, he didn't want to get Shi caught up in it.
He slowly sidestepped around MetalGreymon, who was looking especially large today, and waved at Shi. "So... um, I have to go... do my business, behind that tree!" He said, searching for some place to check his suspicion behind. He scurried behind an especially wide tree, before face palming after realizing how he had just made himself sound when saying that to Shi... "Ugh. Well that's gonna make me look weird later. But more importantly..." Gallatin trailed off while staring down at his shadow...
Suddenly from out of his shadow, his own face popped out of the ground, except completely black and with lifeless eyes. "Boo." The head said with a devilish grin on its face. Gallatin's suspicions had been correct, ShadowGallatin really was alive!
"AH!!!" Gallatin shrieked as his shadow counterpart nearly gave him a heart attack. "How are you alive!? You should be dead! I killed you!?!?!" He frighteningly stumbled backwards as Shadow Gallatin grinned once more before sinking back into his actual shadow and copying his movements once more. He stood still, waiting for something to happen.. but nothing did? Or that was what Gallatin had thought before his feet suddenly started feeling extremely heavy... in fact he couldn't even move his toes now. "What's going on... oh no."
Not wasting any time, Gallatin started running in circles and stomping at the ground to get away from his evil doppelganger shadow, but to no avail as he perfectly mimed his movements and was seemingly glued onto his feet; just like a real shadow. Getting a wide eyed look of pure panic as he saw stomping on the ground did him no good, he ran over as fast as he could, stumbling several times as his legs became extremely heavy, and started screaming at Shi and WarGreymon while waving his arms. "Shi! Shi! WarGreymon! Quick, punch my shadow. HEEELP!!!" His legs finally became as heavy as lead to him, and Gallatin stumbled once more before falling on his back and at WarGreymon's feet; the feeling of heaviness and numbness slowly spreading up his body. "Oh God, Is ShadowGallatin going to take over my body?!" He attempted to yell out, but found he couldn't say a word as the sensation in his body slowly dulled and faded; in a few moments his heart might stop too!

Shi watched Gallatin go off behind a tree, well when you gotta go you gotta go he supposed. Shi put his hands in his pockets figuring he'd wait for Gallatin to come back, then he heard a girly scream. "Wonder what happened." Shi asked hoping it wasn't his first thought, and more importantly that snakes were not in the digital world cause Shi had no sucking device. Though that'd be the death of Gallatin right there. When he started shouting about killing someone Shi figured something else was going on and him and War started walking towards the Tree.
Though that didn't last long as Gallatin started running towards them and asking to punch his shadow, Shi had to wonder at this moment, if he wasn't as calm as he normally is would he be insane right now? This doesn't normally happen and with his normal cold chill voice pointed. "War smash." Shi said as WarGreymon built up a ton of energy in his claws creating a huge red glow that made Shi's shadow vanish. would it do the same for it, they'd never find out since War then bashed behind Gallatin putting everything he could into the attack.

Gallatin went into a fit of coughs as he regained control of his body once more and was able to breathe. " I *Cough* hate shadows." He put out... before nodding to Shi and standing up. Apparently ShadowGallatin had gotten wise enough to let go of him before getting utterly obliterated by WarGreymon. The chill Gallatin felt down his spine though told him enough, that the shadow monster of a copy was still alive. Not wasting any more time being vulnerable, Gallatin unholstered his digivice. " Execute! Spirit Evolution!" He yelled out as a bright light overcame the area around them. His body was once again surrounded by a blue data sphere before it disappeared to reveal his Chronamon form. That wouldn't be enough though. Going as fast as possible, Gallatin focused on a warm sensation in his chest, before grabbing and bringing it outwards. "Burst Through the Mode! MIRACULOUS MODE CHANGE!!!" Around Gallatin, the blue layer of data disappeared for a moment after completely purifying and extracting his data. At first, he looked like just regular Chronamon floating in the air before something happened. Out of nowhere, a gold Plate seemed to bulge out of his forehead as his infinity symbol was replaced by a similarly colored symbol, but on a golden plate of armor.
His arms in a second were covered layer by layer of a golden armor as it slowly spread from his chest to the rest of his body. It covered the sides of his head, leaving only the face open as his insignia blazed brightly on his forehead. Gallantly, he mimed pulling down a visor of sorts over his face and his attire was complete as a shining golden Knight's helmet was completed around his head, lined in silver; his body now completely covered in the armor and emitting and holy light.
"CHRONAMON ~ EXCALIBUR MODE!" Gallatin raised his plated arm, pointing his arm directly at the sky as a DigiPentagram appeared on it. He clenched his hand into a fist, causing the area to erupt in light as ShadowGallatin was forced out of hiding and into his three dimensional form; a perfect copy of Gallatin in his human form, except completely colored black, as if his mere presence darkened the area. His eyes were lifelessly blank and also jet black, no pupils at all. A dark aura oozed from him as black fire flared in his hands as he grew enraged and let out a fierce roar. Gallatin's expression grew serious behind his mask as he materialized his sword in his hand.

Shi watched this happen before letting out a sigh. "Guess Maia is right, my timing is way to good for my own good." Shi said backing up a bit as War stood in front of the teen claws at the ready. "Alright then this is happening, now you're currently facing a Mega and whatever class Gallatin is at, I'd suggest you back down." Shi said not knowing if this thing could you know talk or not but Shi wanted to avoid a fight if he could. He figured this was the Shadow Gallatin that he mentioned but why did it come up? Did the area noticed the darkness and forced it out of Gallatin, less theories more fighting.
War built up more power in his claws waiting for Shadow to make his move.

Not wasting time, Gallatin charged at ShadowGallatin and rapidly swung his sword at the dark entity multiple times. This time though, apparently ShadowGallatin wasn't going to be so easy to beat. He moved incredibly fast, weaving in between each of the slashes with relative ease. "Hah, your as foolish as ever. Did you really think I would fight you without gaining more power?" ShadowGallatin spat, lording his new powers. He dodged from Gallatin's last strike before striking him in the side with his fists. Even though Gallatin swerved to evade the strike; he was still glanced by the blow, which left a burning gash in his armor that was inflamed with black and purple fire before dissipating.
Gallatin grimaced as he dodged backwards from another strike. The shadow clone merely smirked at his defensive gesture before clapping his hands. "Bravo. Bravo indeed. You must have been training yourself to have dodged a blow like mine with 'minimal' damage." ShadowGallatin's devilish smile was really disturbing Gallatin as he had flashbacks to how his spirit had been killed. "You see, I found out that in this world, I must only touch one's shadow to absorb strength from it... And thanks to your friend's powerful partner..." He gestured to the prepped WarGreymon that had its metal claws primed with energy to attack at a moment's notice. "I have all the power I would need to destroy you both."
To prove his point, he spread his arms wide open in mockery as Gallatin felt his movements slow down to a stop... against his will. "Anti Chrono Break." ShadowGallatin slowly said, emphasizing each word. Gallatin tried to hit him before he finished his attack but was stopped in midair. Around him the world was bathed in a blood red hue as everything had frozen... ShadowGallatin had stopped time.
He took a moment to slowly walk around WarGreymon and Gallatin, taking a few seconds to poke and prod them both. "Ah, this truly is a marvelous power Gallatin." He admired the crimson landscape before cupping Gallatin's chin in between his hands and shaking his head. "You see, unlike your own limited powers, I can stop time for a full 10 seconds. Plenty of time to do as I wish and murder you both. The best part his, your powers will let you see the entire process of me disemboweling and melting your insides with my flames of darkness." He yipped with glee as he stuck out his hand, said black fire appearing in his hand which he slowly raised towards Gallatin's face.
"D-Damn it!" Gallatin thought as his body was completely frozen in place. He tried as hard as he could but he could not even maneuver his eyes. "Wait... maybe I can use my Chrono Break to unfreeze myself! But i'll only get 2 seconds to take him down..." Gallatin waited, ShadowGallatin slowly inched the fire closer and closer to his armor until he could feel it burning through and to his body...
"NOW!" He yelled in his head. It was the moment when ShadowGallatin was least expecting an attack! "CHRONO BREAK!" Gallatin shouted out, finally free. The World around them tinted Purple for a few moments before blending the two colors, just looking at the converging spectrum hurt his eyes. He shifted his sword into a backhanded grip and brought it slashing diagonally into the top of ShadowGallatin's head!
"NANI?!" ShadowGallatin yelled in surprise. He had no time to dodge before the sword lodged directly into his head and the force of the blow made him fly backwards. He tried to stop himself... but his 10 seconds were up! The purple tint dominated the world around them as he was unable to move, the force of the blow driving him backwards before he stopped, impaled on WarGreymon's claws.
Gallatin stood there for a moment, panting from the strain he had just been put through. "*Pant* And *Pant* time resumes..." He muttered as the purple colored world faded, and a dark green liquid spurted from three punctures in ShadowGallatin's chest and mouth. Gallatin knew better though; that monster was far from dead. "Shi! I need you to distract him!" He yelled before pushing himself to the limit as he began dashing to seemingly random places while dragging his sword on the stone ground, causing sparks to fly from it. ShadowGallatin dislodged himself from WarGreymon's claws. "HUUUAAAAAAH!!!" He let out a fierce roar as the holes in his body refilled before disappearing without a trace. "I'll kill you both!" He yelled as he rose into the sky and began constructing a large ball of black and purple, fire-like energy in both of his hands and above his head. It grew several times in size until it was as large as a house! "I'll sink this floating island as well as destroy you all!!!" He screamed as he poured more and more energy into an attack.

Shi had no idea what happened in the last few moments but he knew something went down, he wasn't a idiot. Now the shadow version of Gallatin was stuck on Wars claws, no way that was natural. War was going to just slam him down but Shadow managed to dislodge himself before he could, shame. Shi looked up at the Shadow before smiling for a moment at the size of the energy attack. " Sink the island with that, no chance." Shi said with a smirk as War jumped into the air.
War spun around going straight for Shadow using his grand tornado attack to try and run through him, if he did War would stop above him and begin charging his own Terra Force attack collecting the large fireball above him.

ShadowGallatin, realizing he didn't have enough time to charge his attack further, absorbed the giant ball of fiery, black energy into himself. His body began radiating a gigantic aura of darkness that was so hot it caused the air itself to bend around him. " Fine then! I'll KILL YOU FIRST!!!" He yelled out in a mighty shout before rushing towards the twisting Mega Fusion. ShadowGallatin began to spin around in the same fashion as WarGreymon had, before his body mimicked a slightly smaller and black version of the Mega's attack! " ANTI GREAT TORNADO!" He screamed as his hands sprouted dark energy claws before he collided with WarGreymon's Grand Tornado, the two drilling warriors spinning in opposite directions while clashing against each other. Underneath them, Gallatin continued dashing around the area of the clearing, still dragging his sword. He breathing became more and more ragged, but he pressed onward as he carved more gashes into the stone flooring. After finishing with that, he briefly glanced at the clashing forces before flying as fast as he could around the entire perimeter of the clearing while not ceasing cutting an inch deep, connecting gash in the ground as he flew barely a few feet off of the ground.

Shi watched as the two forces of nature crashed in the middle creating a loud boom pushing the wind away knocking Shi's hat away easily. Shi closed his eyes and with a smirk lifted his Digivice slowly before extending one hand out, a mash of black data clouded around his hand for a moment before forming to great heights, Shi smirked for a moment looking up at the Shadow. "Honestly, I don't care what you are, but I'll tell you one thing, you picked the WRONG BROTHERS TO DEAL WITH!" Shi said bringing his hand up and slamming it on the top of his Digivice. "DIGI-SOUL, CHARGE" Shi shouted pointing the device at War, it seemed Shadow took the abilities of the ones who hit him, Shi didn't attack so there was no way he'd have the Digi-soul ability.
War pushed against the shadow before he heard Shi, feeling a sudden burst in energy causing his body to glow a bright light for a moment, at this moment something happened to the WarGreymon, at this moment he became something that surpassed a Mega, a super Mega if you would. "I already beat a copy cat once, I CAN SURE AS HELL DO IT AGAIN!" War shouted sending far more power then he originally was using into his attack, if this didn't break Shadow then Shi would call hacks at that. Shi watched as the battle between the two turned into his favor but Shi couldn't help but feel something off when he used the Digi soul ability.
Shi looked at his hand still covered in the mesh of Data but it felt, off. His was black the same as his old Digivice, did that mean something? Before this shadow appeared Shi never gave it much thought, it was just the color of some device right? But when Shi really looked at the fact that everything had a black copy, was Shi supposed to be like that, was he supposed to destroy. "Come on Shi get a grip, focus there's a battle at hand." Shi muttered to himself looking back at the fight.
